Night in the countryside

Whenever others ridicule Zhang Yuankuan like this, Zhang Xinlan will be obligated to angrily reprimand these shallow people: "Don't you have a watch? Why don't you look at your own, he is not familiar with it now, and he will be familiar with it in the future. When people saw Zhang Xinlan's annoyed appearance, they couldn't say anything, so they had to grunt whimfully: "Talk and laugh, and have a good time." Yuanyuan was in the kitchen while thinking about what kind of dishes to fry, while thinking of Aunt Xinlan's family, she took the vegetable basket to the vegetable garden to pick eggplant, red pepper, and two loofahs, and carried a handful of tender green cabbage, plus dried plum vegetables, there are potatoes in the kitchen, shredded potatoes and flour, fried with oil, quite fragrant, cooking also has to be drafted, Yuanyuan walked through the hall with a vegetable basket, Zhang Xinlan saw that she got so many dishes, and said politely: "Yuanyuan, I don't eat here, You don't want to be mine. ”

Yuan Yuan turned around and said with a smile: "Aunt Xinlan, you must give me a little face and try my craftsmanship, okay?" ”

Grandma also said enthusiastically: "Xinlan, listen, Yuanyuan has said this, you will have dinner here." As she spoke, her grandmother took Zhang Xinlan's hand and continued to talk to her.

Outside the house, the light of the setting sun showed a fire-red color, the shadows of the trees, the ducks who had been swimming in the ditch at the door for a day, all with round bellies and heads, walked towards their homes, a flock of chickens of different colors, clucking, singing, and curling smoke.

Yuanyuan quickly got the meal ready, braised eggplant, scrambled eggs with loofah, stir-fried plum cabbage with green onion and chili foam, stir-fried bok choy, fried golden shredded potatoes, and fried red pepper with diced cucumbers.

Yuan Yuan asked Zhang Xinlan and said, "Aunt Xinlan, is Uncle Yuan Kuan at home?" I'm going to call him over and we're going to have dinner together. ”

Zhang Xinlan heard her say: "He was not at home for many days, and he went to his sister's house to help." ”

"Oh one by one" Yuan Yuan was a little surprised, and she hurriedly opened up and served the food. At the dinner table, Zhang Xinlan kept hiccups, every bite of food, as if taking medicine, it was difficult to swallow, Yuanyuan saw her like that, and suggested pouring some loofah soup on her in the rice, Zhang Xinlan nodded and responded: "Okay, good." Finally, she barely ate half a bowl of rice.

Grandma said: "Xinlan, you can't always be sad in your heart, you should let go, you have to let go, you have to save yourself!" ”

Grandma's heartfelt words, Zhang Xinlan listened, nodded silently, Yuanyuan poured her a cup of hot tea, when the finger handing the tea touched Zhang Xinlan's hand, Yuanyuan felt the coldness of the fingers.

After the meal, when Yuanyuan packed up the dishes and chopsticks and was about to feed the pigs, Zhang Xinlan stood up to go home, Yuanyuan said: "Aunt Xinlan, stay with us tonight, and the two of us will sleep together." ”

"Yuanyuan, I still have two piglets and a sow to feed, you don't know, Hua Yong is leaving, your Uncle Yuankuan, you don't want this family at all, what is the taste of my life."

"Aunt Xinlan, I'll send you home to feed the pigs, and come back after feeding and talk to grandma." Yuan Yuan said, walking behind Zhang Xinlan.

Came to the door of Zhang Xinlan's house, the door was really an iron lock, open the door, pull on the light switch, Yuanyuan felt a cool breeze floating, she couldn't help but shiver, in the empty hall, on the tea table directly above, enshrined a Guanyin Bodhisattva holding a net bottle, swaying the gypsum statue of nectar, there is also a glass photo frame hanging on the square wall, there are several black and white photos, there are a single full-body photo of Aunt Xinlan's mother, and a family photo, Hua Yong in the family photo is showing a naughty smile, Aunt Xinlan clasped him to her chest with both hands, and Zhang Yuankuan next to her smiled sweetly.

Zhang Xinlan was still in the pigsty and said, "Hello, come and eat!" Wang Meizhen, who was on the other side of the door, walked into the house with freshly washed wet hair and shouted, "Sister Xinlan, come and watch TV!" There's "Ashin" tonight, so watch it well. After speaking, she turned around, only to see Yuanyuan who was looking at the photo, and said, "Yuanyuan, is that you?" Got a holiday? ”

Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Yes, Aunt Meizhen, have you eaten?" ”

Meizhen smiled, showing her white and beautiful teeth, and said, "I just finished eating and saw that the lights in her house were on, so I came over to watch TV. Why don't you go to watch TV for a while? ”

After listening to Wang Meizhen's words, Yuanyuan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

Wang Meizhen muttered and walked to the pigsty to help feed the pigs, and she said loudly: "Just sprinkle the chaff on it to make sure they eat deliciously." ”

Zhang Xinlan was amused and said, "A basket of old sweet potato vines, can you still eat fragrantly?" ”

Wang Meizhen said angrily: "That's because their stomachs are not hungry, okay, wash your hands and watch TV." Yuanyuan saw that Wang Meizhen took care of Zhang Xinlan intimately, so she said: "Aunt Xinlan, I'm going back, you come to us tomorrow to play, talk to my grandmother, she is quite lonely." ”

Zhang Xinlan agreed with a smile: "Yuanyuan, you slow down, I will go when I have time." ”

Yuan Yuan took two steps, turned back and grabbed Zhang Xinlan's hand and said: "Aunt Xinlan, you have to change yourself, even if you are the only one left in the world, you have to live well, care about yourself, and learn to live well for yourself." ”

"The round heart is so good, when it comes to my heart." Zhang Xinlan choked in her throat. Wang Meizhen stood aside and nodded.

"Eat well." After Yuanyuan finished speaking, he walked home.

In the night sky, the moon is round and hung on the dark blue sky, the moonlight is as clear as water, splashing on the earth, the earth seems to be cleaned by the moonlight, the time is a crystal glass bottle containing the universe, transparent and shiny, the heart of the moonlight baptism, has an empty light, pure and beautiful like a baby.

When Yuanyuan returned home, grandma had already finished feeding the pigs, Yuanyuan hurriedly helped grandma bring hot water boiling in the pot, let grandma wash and rest early, and also asked about grandma's recent physical condition, grandma said: "I'm very good, only a little worse than Wu Song who fights tigers." ”

Yuanyuan was amused by her grandmother's words, she told her grandmother some interesting things about school, someone didn't do morning exercises, lying on the top bunk, was found by the teacher, punished for standing for a class, and when she and her classmates rehearsed the program to celebrate the 11th National Day, they stood in the wrong line, and were called by the dance teacher: sweet potato, potato, onion joke.

Grandma listened to Yuanyuan's wonderful description with interest, and smiled on her face: "It's okay, it's not called stupid winter melon." ”

"Haha, grandma, you sit at home, you seem to know everything, the teacher called the big winter melon, it was a big male classmate, and his hand style is always bad." After Yuanyuan finished speaking, she couldn't stop laughing, grandma is really like a living fairy, as if she knows everything, she didn't tell grandma about Ye Yuming sending her books, why didn't the Chinese textbooks be sent to you? I'm afraid she's thinking too much.
